Just how an evening at the cinema used to be but better. Old fashioned yet supremely comfortable. Not too loud. Warm and cosy. The management were extremely welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the free tea and coffee and other refreshments that were very reasonably priced.

Went to Alhambra while on holiday in Keswick and absolutely fell in love with the place. From the 'admit one' paper tickets, to the hilariously sweet PowerPoint style 'coming soon' adverts, everything about this cinema is wonderful and heartwarming. Seats were comfy and not too...More
